[novajohn01]

So do i need to drain an start all over????is rock an sand still good????

 

[novajohn01]

Just put new heater in 2 weeks ago,guess i should of bought element type heater

 

[thejoshdavis]

Have you isolated it down to that being the problem? I've seen and felt maxi jet pumps throw voltage. Also have seen a power strip cause the same issues.

 

[novajohn01]

Not yet,gonna check everything thing in a few

 

[schooleyosis]

Man I'm sorry to hear that. Will have some frags for ya When you get back up and running. Anything I can do to help, just holler.

Dang, John. That sucks. I hate to hear this.

I would think your rocks should be fine. I might re-seed with Dr. Tims just to make sure. How did your tests turn out?

The die off would have caused some destablization, but a water change and a reseed with Dr Tim's, and things should come back in line pretty quickly. Really sorry to hear this, man. If I had any corals left worth fragging, I'd pass you some when it gets back to good.

 

[novajohn01]

Thanks guys,gonna do Dr Tims tonite

Have you figured out what caused the issue for sure?

What brand of heater did you just put in? I always run eheim jager heaters.

 

[NeveSSL]

Really sucks to hear, I've always felt "immune" to something that hasn't happened to me. I'll say, "I don't need a ground" then with my luck this would happen... GL with everything and hope you have a smooth recovery. "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is what all reefers need to live by and I'm so guilty of not!
